Introduction & Setup Information

• What is grid computing?
  

  • Quote

    Grid computing (or the use of a computational grid) is the application of several computers to a single problem at the same time -- usually to a scientific or technical problem that requires a great number of computer processing cycles or access to large amounts of data.
    
    It is a form of distributed computing whereby a "super and virtual computer" is composed of a cluster of networked, loosely coupled computers, acting in concert to perform very large tasks. This technology has been applied to computationally intensive scientific, mathematical, and academic problems through volunteer computing.

Folding at home is a great thing. Hopefully everyone that can will join in, while our wonderful governments and the politicians lack of scientific understanding continue to hinder research into things like stem cells.

Hello Zotac,

I am very happy to see you support the Stanford Folding @ Home Project.

May your Video Cards become popular in this effort as I am sure they will.

I am looking forward to see how fast you rise in the ranks.

looks as tho me and computergeek are the only folders at this momment
im gonna throw my new zotac gtx285 at this project for you guys
ill also throw my server your way
(my other team will get mad but whatever)

I could care less what eggxpert thinks about me switching teams, imho its not the team that's important its what we're doing that's important to me.

[ak11667]

i agree its all for a good cause

[Dragunover]

I just heard about this and have started folding. I have roughly 20,000 points in other F@H teams.

[MrSpiffdiflous]

I'm not sure how much I can contribute but I'll do what I can!

Hi,

Every Folder, Every Team started with one and grew from there.
Every work unit completed might be the one that brings a major breakthrough.
Folding is exciting, fun and the correct thing to do.

All of you joining the fight here at Zotac meet new friends from around the world.
You will feel the excitement of watching your Team grow.
If you having problems Folding remember that your Team is here to help you solve the problems.

Get all your Friends and Family to join in this wonderful program.

Although I am not on this Team, I am here to help Team Zotac get started.

Why I fold
In the past 3 months I have been folding for eggxpert.com and gained 725,000 points with my meager setups.
Sad that my points have to start over here but it happens and the points don't really matter to me it's what I'm doing that matters.

Suggestion for this tread:

If this thread could be split into three sections, one for SETI@Home, one for Folding@Home, and one for GPU Grid Information.
That way as this forum and Team grows it would be easier for Team Zotac members to find information for the subject matter that is of interest to them.

ak11667,

If I may ask, How many SMP's and GPU-2's are you running?

ak11667,

well im running 4 smp on my server
and one gpu2 on my main comp
i could run 3 more if i had a new am2+ processor a gpu2 ones
i do have a quadcore computer as my main computer but i have yet to run a smp on it
i do have a P4 in my garage that is running it

[Leganfuh]

The reason I ask is that you should run one smp on a dual core and two on a quad core.

On a quad core should also run FAH SMP Affinity Changer

Also with a quad core process you should also run the Windows High Performance Clients

i have a server with 2 dual core optys
im running 4 single processes on it because my server has issues running smp for some reason

[bizkit93]

im currently running 4 smp clients {1 q6600@3.2, 1 e2180, 2 e2220s} and 6 GPU2 {3 9600GSOs {96sp}, 1 9600gso {48sp} 1 8400gs pci, and a ati hd3450}

got plans to expand that to another 4 more 9600gsos {96sp} and another smp client.



though ill admit i fold for DFI Club under tenchimuyo93
used to fold for overclock.net but they rubbed me the wrong way over there.

[ajk2005]

I'm switching over from Eggxperts folding team. I don't have much to run... Only a PS3, a 9800gt, and a e8400. If I had another motherboard i could setup another system.. Happy folding!

PS: and for some reason I can't post here using IE8.. everything shows up except for this text box

[bizkit93]

welcome to the team, ill be joining once i get to texas..... to late now to get everything unpacked and swaped over now.

[ajk2005]

The Zotac team is currently 1319 of 160799. Not bad for only 5 members. And we're still gaining ground at a pretty good pace.

Hi, I own about twenty ionitx mobos. I do keep them pretty busy looking for software defects with my own simulations, to be honest, but was curious if folding could be done from linux. Right now I install Ubuntu Server on them.
